Don't forget to start engine after filling with oil then turn engine off to check engine oil after filter has oil in it. Don't over fill the oil.

Thank you for this video. You were the only vid to explain the two types of filters for the Buick Encore 1.4. I went to Auto Zone and Oreily's auto and they have no clue of the difference. Finally went to NAPA and they had the filter Gold 100283 with the attached valve. Had I put the other one in probably would have serious engine damage,thanks again.

So, I just did an oil change on my 2017 Encore, it has the Brown UFI cap, I pull that off and what filters in there? The wrong one of course, and that was done by the dealer in Cathedral City CA. I wonder if running the wrong filter has done any damage? If you want it done right, do it do it yourself.

That tip on selecting the right filter was helpful. The only extra step I'd add is to lube the new o ring with a little oil.

When you reset the 'oil life indicator', and it reads 100%, does this mean that you have 15,000 miles between oil changes? Or does the 'oil life indicator' mechanism actually monitor the quality and viscosity, etc. of the oil and compute how much oil life you have left? Thanks.

I apologize for the much delay here. I was not sure on this one as well, so I looked it up. There seems to be more technology than just a 15,000 mi countdown. From this article: "The Buick Oil Life System (OLS) system is not a simple oil quality sensor, but a software-based, algorithm-driven device that takes into account various operating conditions of the engine to determine when the oil needs changing" If you would like to dig in more, see article:www.yourmechanic.com/article/understanding-buick-service-indicator-lights-by-brent-minderler_2

A 2017 Buick Encore's oil filter is underneath the car, not in the engine bay facing up. You need to remove the plastic cover housing surrounding where the drain plug is to see it in full glory. Just an FYI...There's just two bolts holding the front cover- remove the two and it can just hang down while you get to the filter.

Sorry for the delay. There is no new gasket on the drain bolt. If you pause the video @9:15, you can see there is a black gasket built into the drain bolt, so you should only have to replace the gasket on the oil filter housing.

@Zeek8006 ай бұрын
Loosen and remove 😢the oil filler cap and set it sideways on the hole . This allows air to enter the crankcase which makes the oil drain out a little quicker. The oil filter cap also has a torque setting. You don’t want to tighten it so much that it strips the threads as it’s plastic. I think the torque number is 18 ft lbs???
@ac23763 жыл бұрын
is there a special trick to remove the oil cap from the engine? tried turning left with resistance, but didn't want to break it, is there some type of release latch? Or just turn it counter-clockwise to unscrew it?
@evergreenbrothers3 жыл бұрын
No latch or anything, just have to give it some mustard. Just turn it counter-clockwise to unscrew it. The cap has an o-ring sandwiched between the threads and the oil filter housing, so that initial turn to unscrew the cap can have a bit of resistance. Make sure you have the correct socket, get it fully seated on the top of the oil cap, and then give it some muscle to break it free. If you are using a very short ratchet, it will feel like you have to give a lot of muscle. Go with a longer ratchet for more leverage, and it'll come free.

Mine is a 2014 with 39k. Had an oil leak in the turbo fixed under warranty. That is it so far. Good thing was that a Buick warrant is 4/48 vs 3/36 for Trax. I like it so far. Only annoyance is the seat is only leather on the inside of the seat, thoutside is fake leather and is already cracking.

@evergreenbrothers4 жыл бұрын
I do not have enough expertise to know if changing the housing would be sufficient. To get the best and most accurate answer, I'd recommend asking a GM technician GM mechanic. The easiest thing would be to purchase the correct oil filter for your housing. This should guide you into what oil filter is appropriate for your oil filter housing: napafilters.com/wp-content/uploads/GM-1.4L-Oil-Filter-Product-Alert-English.pdf

How do I determine which oil cap I have? I own a 2016 Buick encore as well, wanted to learn how to do my own oil changes..
@evergreenbrothers4 жыл бұрын
The location of your oil filter housing cap is referenced at 4:44 in the video. So take a look to see where in your engine bay the oil filter housing cap is located. Go pop your hood in your Buick Encore. Grab a flashlight and take a look at your oil filter housing cap. (See 4:44) If you have a Hengst oil filter housing cap, it will be black and have the words "Hengst" written on top. (See 6:50 of the video). If you have this oil filter housing cap, an appropriate oil filter would be a Napa 7674. If you have a UFI oil filter housing cap, it will be brown and won't have any logo on it. There is currently a replacement filter under development for that oil filter housing cap. I'd recommend reading this product notice to further understand the differences between the two. This product notice applies to Buick Encore, 1.4L, 2013-2017 models: napafilters.com/wp-content/uploads/GM-1.4L-Oil-Filter-Product-Alert-English.pdf Hope this helps.

@evergreenbrothers4 жыл бұрын
Dexos engine oil specifications were designed by GM engineers specifically for GM engines. All 5w-30 oils are not made the same or perform the same, depending on your engine. Especially with this car having a turbo, it is best to choose the oil that GM has approved to meet their specifications to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
